  • Manchester City and Chelsea have reached an agreement in principle for Enzo Fernández, with the transfer reportedly exceeding €150 million.
  • If completed, the 25-year-old Argentina midfielder would become the fourth-most expensive footballer ever.
  • Fernández could face Greek club AEK Athens soon after the move, with City scheduled to host AEK in the Champions League on October 20.

Manchester City are close to completing a transfer for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández worth more than €150 million, a deal that could reshape the late transfer market.

The 25-year-old Argentina international would become the fourth-most expensive footballer in history if the move goes through. The fee would surpass Liverpool’s €145 million transfer for Alexander Isak.

Negotiations moved quickly after City opened formal talks with Chelsea on Monday. The report says only the final administrative steps remain, while a post on social media citing journalist Gianluca Di Marzio said Fernández would travel to Manchester within hours to complete the move.

The transfer could also put Fernández on course for an early meeting with a Greek opponent. Manchester City are due to play AEK Athens in the Champions League league phase in Manchester on October 20 at 10 p.m.

The agreement remains conditional on completion of the final procedures.
